Dead wrong. Bush's tax code rewards the IDLE RICH not those who work hard. Those who benefit most from Bush's tax code are those who inherit millions and put them in dividend-producing stocks. Or the CEO like Cheney retiring with the stock options. Those two groups most of all.

Quit drinking the Koolaid. Who told you hard-working Americans are rewarded by Bush's tax c ode? Whoever told you that lied.

And guess what, when Bush's 7 trillion in new debt has to be repaid, who do you think will bear the burden for paying it back? Not the CEO class or the idle rich living off a million shares of Exxon. No, the hard-working middleclass and upper middleclass.

What "Perfectly Legal" clearly proves is that Bushies sneaked one by us with their tax code. It definitely is written for the rich by the rich and it's just part of the huge multi trillion dollar budget-busting ripoff taking place now.

AS, Quit repeating that old mantra of the selfish, misers.

The only selfish people I see are those who want to punish hard-working Americans with higher taxes.


You think Paris Hilton works hard; how about Tom Cruise, the Bush twins; Nicole Richie; Reagan's son. Do you think Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco and Ken Lay of Enron were killing themselves when they were making millions at those companies? After all, Kozlowski had time to pick up gold lamé shower curtains.

Some facts about the rich in this country:

Punish hard working Americans? Nope. Its to make the very fortunate pay their fair share.

Time to tax the rich again. We cannot afford not to. Bush's trillion dollar 2006 deficits prove this. We also have to start cutting defense spending and windfall profits tax the energy companies. Much of that deficit comes from the doubling of energy prices under Bush.

Time to go back to the robust Clinton economy when everything was paid for plus surpluses. May take a while to get back there, but we must.
